Customer Question

Hello!A few days ago I started really not feeling well, and on Easter, I ended up having extreme weakness, dizziness...and painful sensitive skin (to which she said having sensitive painful skin isn't normal when your sick...which I found strange??) I took my temp and it was 99.5. Went home, slept and got up the next morning...throat absolutely killing me. Went to a walk in clinic yesterday and the NP did a strep test and said it came back with a faint pink line.. so she said I had strep. She asked me if I had a cough, running nose or ear pressure and I said no to all except mild ear pressure. So now this morning I wake up and I NOW have extreme ear pressure, cough starting and a ton of drainage... So I'm completely confused. Is it possible to have both strep AND a cold? She prescribed me Cephalexin...
